Buffet at Merchant Court yesterday

Went to d merchant court buffet yesterday afternoon wif Sis, Leng n Serene...haha, finally, food was yummie, esp the desserts..not talkin abt pastries n cakes tis time..theirs was special, all those hot desserts (pulut hitam, green bean soup, ginko nut, papaya soup, tapoica, etc)...so unique, nvr seen a buffet serving so many types of such desserts...hehehe, n chocolate fondue, my fav...aft dat, we went shopping at central...

i muz be eatin too much lately, did notice dat i grew fatter recently, my tummy is nt as flat as b4 now....went to levis wanting to buy jeans, but i couldnt fit into waist 24, so tried 25, couldnt even button, i had to wear 26, oh no, i wld nt be eatin any more donuts fr nw onwards (i dun tink cakes is d culprit tis time)

Disappointing lunch yesterday

aft wrk on sat, went bk hm to meet sis, serene & leng...we tk cab to central, ended up at merchant court hotel, thought of eating buffet, so we went in, luckily there were seats despite nt mking reservation...but upon hearing dat it wld end in 1.5 hrs...we walked out...whahaha, we r kiasu s'poreans, eat buffets muz eat long long then worth it,kekekeke..

haha, we juz walked to central, went ard luking for food, decided on a jap restaurant, nt sure of d name, but really make d wrong decision...d food is real bad, nt fresh, taste weird, some luks uncooked, some luks overcooked, & it's nt cheap either...so sad...went shopping around, also had desserts at d fdcourt (nt gd either, sm standard s d jap fd), & had yakun as tea-time (tink it's d best lor)

Buffet yesterday

it had been ages since i last went to a buffet, i didnt know we were actually goin for a buffet.. i only knew dat janice told me to meet her at orchard hotel for dinner, so i juz went since she's d one paying not me...honestly i didnt heard of it b4, i thot she was saying one of d hotels in orchard area, since there's so many hotels there...until then, did i realise there was such a hotel named orchard hotel..."mountain-tortise"...the way there was realli jammed, coz of d asian conference in nearby shangri-la hotel...security was reali tight, seems like it was d wrong time to go there

keke....the spread was good, lots of gd food, n my fav sashimi, satay, choco fondue, n most importantly, all d desserts, whahaha.....so we juz ate, ate, n talk abt abnormal psy (till dat it luks like everyone around us are abnormal, including ourselves) anyway, im realli obsessed nw wif all d mental disorders, cognitive disorders...etc

Donuts Donuts Donuts....

from Donut's Factory..many new flavours tis time

Ice-Cream feast...

my first free wkend without exams n assignments...realli shiok, no burden, no worries, juz lazing around aimlessly...

we brought alicia to novena/square 2, had mos burger for lunch, n bought d cute mostraps... then shopped around to digest, b4 going to anderson's for a icecream-feast..we had d family feast choco fondue,luks attractive n appealing, but it's realli sweet, i can feel my glucose level shooting up... start shopping around, then went luking for donut factory, juz wanted to see if there was any queue like d raffles branch, apparently no...so i started buying again...haha, donut freak..

Cupcake, Donuts, Donuts....

Back again....

I'm back, hv been missing in action for some time... haven been writing here for ages...busy period is over..finish my last assignment for tis sem last mon, exams over yesterday....talking abt exams...tis is probably the worst i ever did, i handed in an almost blank paper, with half-filled answers, n it's all crap....really nd to pray hard to gt at least 40 mrks to pass...tink most of us did really bad, coz we couldnt even fin the paper, 2 hrs is juz too short...wish us all gd luck...

life is still d same for me, bored, dull, monotaneous... life is hard...i hate wrk, trouble trouble trouble...n my health is another problem...indigestion, constipation which is really serious, but doctors kpt saying it's not a big problem...sianzzz

陈伟联∶台湾首張專輯，新加坡第二張專輯「i 偉聯」

Current music: 普通的人

陈伟联 第一波主打:<普通的人>

我~不是爱听你嫌我闷
只是为你多看你眼神
此刻幻想和他对调身份
他~比我讨好我都承认
那麼容易让你心疼
无论我有多诚恳
还是没资格竞争
太信任我知道我没输他几分
好知己那麼多都成不了恋人
做情人没天份对爱我却比他更加奋不顾身~

只想做个普通的人却不同到没有爱情肯为我转身
做不到一百分但却爱得坚诚想成为你爱的人
就算做个普通的人却想给你最暖的体温最深的吻
无论你肯不肯我甘心做陪衬为你保留那对爱的天真

他~身边总是不缺情人
你须要拥抱说一声
什麼原因我都不会过问 我~
不能给你要的情份
却也微笑著做好人
当自己有梦有真表演单恋的剧本
谁认真谁强忍时间它会做证
他精彩我沉闷什麼都愿牺牲
当相爱和失恋同一天发生 我还是选择去等~

只想做个普通的人却不同到没有爱情肯为我转身
做不到一百分但却爱得坚诚想成为你爱的人
就算做个普通的人却想给你最暖的体温最深的吻
无论你肯不肯我甘心做陪衬为你保留那对爱的天真
我~~祇想做个普通的人却不同到没有爱情肯为我转身
做不到一百分但却爱得坚诚想成为你爱的人
就算做个普通的人却想给你最暖的体温最深的吻
无论你肯不肯我甘心做陪衬为你保留那对爱的天真
无论你肯不肯我甘心做陪衬总有一天爱情它会成真

my life is going to b shorter soon....

Gone were the days...

Gone were the days dat teachers were treated wif authority...Gone were the days dat school staff were treated wif respect... i duno wat parents r tinking nowaways, do they sent children to sch to b educated, or juz as a childcare centre...tinking dat every staff in d sch r fully responsible for their children...wat can we do if d children wans to run around, wat can we do if d children went hiding coz of their mishievious behaviour, wat can we do if d children wants to juz throw their belongings ard, do we hv to find their lost bags for them, do we hv to search for children playing hide-n seek wif us...... 'wat can we juz do' i reali duno

Agony of an librarian

my advice to all d ppl in d world: Don't ever be a librarian!!! it does not matters wat other jobs is available...everything is better than being a librarian....wat gd does a librarian does...nothing...in everybody's opinion, i believe so far as i noes...a librarian in e eyes of everyone..does nothing, but shake legs n read bks fr 9am to 6pm...rite?? dun deny it..tis is one everything believes, an extremely relaxed job dat everyone envys, isn't dat?? for goodness sake, i tink everybody in tis world needs to b more educated abt every job in tis world.....

u tink it's easy being a customer-service staff..yah, rite, librarian is equivalent to a service-staff, u tink it's a desk-bound job dat u can reali sit dwn there n shake legs, u tink we dun nd to do anything else but read all d bks in d library, u tink it's easy cataloguing bks, anyway, few means wat i mean by cataloguing, so forgt it, ....it reali makes my blood boil whenever ppl tells me oh, so u r wrkin in a library, it's so gd, so relaxed, can read d whole day.... everybody pls stop saying dat to me...n it's won b for so long dat im in tis line

Hippomei is reading...

Hippo-mei is reading:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

This last book excites me..but also sad dat there won't be any sequal to read on...

Only read less than half of d bk, moving veri slow, due to time constraint..i hv nvr ever spent such a long time reading a HP bk, keke

新加坡第一天王陳偉聯來台為首張專輯「i 偉聯」宣傳造勢，身為視障歌手的他昨天舉行專輯記者會時，以一擊全倒之打保齡球來慶祝專輯擊出好彩頭！個性樂觀的陳偉聯就如同專輯主打歌「普通人」一樣，不戴墨鏡也不避諱談「盲」！首次來台宣傳的他說心裡很緊張，不過對於電視製作單位的通告多所持保留態度，讓陳偉聯在台灣感受到「碰壁連連」！

.......

不過此次陳偉聯來台，工作人員在安排電視通告時，卻碰到不少製作單位以保留的態度來加以婉拒，更直言表示，因為害怕主持人話鋒犀利尖銳，會傷到陳偉聯！陳偉聯聞悉後覺得很遺憾，他說：「我覺得自己跟普通人一樣，在新加坡我一樣也可以配合節目，我可以玩得很開心，我喜歡八卦節目，因為生動活潑，我很怕安靜，希望能讓台灣的歌迷也能看到我的表現！」對於初次來台宣傳，電視媒體的保留態 度，讓陳偉聯不禁感覺「碰壁連連」！

首次跟美美合作，兩人光揣摩情人分手的情緒，就笑場NG多次，MV一拍將近16小時，陳偉聯終於感受到在台灣拍MV的「大陣仗」。
